I put the cam in straight up dot to dot.
Yes the car ran fine before tear down, ran 8.16 in 8th with stock motor. I just had the heads done then added the 629 lift cam. The car will try to run but only after I pump the gas million times.
The motor turns over fast like theres no compression, same as it did when no plugs where in? I did notice when I kept double checking to make sure it was on compression stroke, there was hardly any pressure blowing out the cycl like it should.
